"Raise your hands higher, keep your lower body steady, use your strength hard, and try to get it done in one go."
"Keep a broad view and choose to attack or defend according to the actual situation. Always prepare a retreat."
"The moves must be unexpected. You can't just copy the sword manual. You must learn and apply it flexibly."
Inside the Shen Mansion, Shen Jiayan was teaching Lu Qingyuan martial arts.
Lu Qingyuan held the double blades tightly in both hands. He was very serious at first, but he didn't hold on for long before his mind flew away.
During the pause, she couldn't help but look up and peek at Shen Jiayan.
Seeing that man was serious, her heart leaped with joy again.
Although she was already Shen Jiayan's legal wife, and had slept with him for many days, and had done more intimate things with him, but...
I just can’t get enough of it.
Now he held her wrist, holding her in his arms, and gave her gentle guidance; his voice was seductive, his tone gentle; the warm breath he exhaled as he spoke still lingered in her ears. Skin to skin...
How can I not be tempted?!
Her husband was simply too tempting.
“Be focused.”
Realizing that Lu Qingyuan was distracted again, Shen Jiayan used a little force and pinched Lu Qingyuan's wrist.
"Absent-minded. If I were your enemy, I would have killed you long ago."
There was no reprimand in the tone, but rather a subtle hint of doting.
Lu Qingyuan smiled slyly: "It is precisely because I know you won't hurt me that I dare to be distracted."
This statement cannot be refuted.
Shen Jiayan was helpless: "So, are you going to continue daydreaming or practice martial arts seriously? Don't try to do two things at once, otherwise you'll waste your energy and get tired, but in the end, you won't accomplish anything. It's not worth it."
"Practice, practice, of course!"
Lu Qingyuan quickly adjusted her state, carefully recalled Shen Jiayan's instructions, and continued to wield the double blades in her hands.
"Kick, first accumulate strength, aim at the target and then kick hard."
"Be quick, accurate, and ruthless, and don't hesitate."
"Always keep your hands on defense..."
Shen Jiayan continued to correct Lu Qingyuan's every move step by step.
This time Lu Qingyuan was very serious.
Soon, her forehead was covered with sweat and her breathing became a little rapid.
"Why are you so tired?"
Shen Jiayan noticed something unusual and immediately stopped what he was doing. He held Lu Qingyuan with one hand and touched her forehead with the other.
Lu Qingyuan smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing, I just haven't exercised for a few days, so I'm not used to it for a while."
Shen Jiayan blamed himself a little: "I shouldn't have let you practice martial arts with me. You should go inside and rest quickly. It's cold today, don't catch a cold."
"I'm not that delicate, I..."
"Young Master!"
Lu Qingyuan's words were interrupted by the servant.
The two of them subconsciously turned around and saw a servant running in in a panic: "The Emperor summoned you and the Second Master to the palace to discuss important matters."
"Royal brother?" Lu Qingyuan was slightly stunned and murmured in confusion: "Why are you summoning people to the palace on New Year's Eve?"
The servant replied, "I don't know either. I only know that Eunuch Zhao Xu is already waiting in the front hall."
Shen Jiayan seemed to be thinking, "Eunuch Zhao came here in person, so it must be something important."
Lu Qingyuan said: "Then go quickly, and be careful on the road."
"Okay, I'll bring you something delicious. Come inside quickly. Have a bowl of hot soup to warm your hands. Don't let them get cold."
Shen Jiayan gave a few instructions and left in a hurry.

When Shen Jiarui and Shen Jiayan arrived at Qingyun Palace, the emperor was looking at a large yellowed map thoughtfully.
There are many marks on the map.
Maybe because I look at it so often, the map has become frayed.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the Emperor." Shen Jiayan and Shen Jiarui knelt down and saluted.
The emperor then came to his senses.
He smiled and pointed to the seat in front of him: "No need to be polite, come and sit."
"this……"
Shen Jiayan looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with etiquette."
How could a minister like him sit opposite the emperor?
The emperor smiled and said, "We are already as close as brothers, and now there are no outsiders here, so why should we be so restrained? Forget about those empty formalities and come and analyze the situation with me."
The word "we" actually brought us closer together.
Shen Jiayan thought about it, didn't dare to refuse too much, and walked forward to sit opposite the emperor.
The emperor got straight to the point: "According to spies, Wuerke recently sent two hundred beautiful young women to the Hudi tribe, and is secretly communicating with the Fourth Prince of Fufeng."
Shen Jiarui snorted coldly, "Uerke has always been ambitious, and now that he's become the leader of the Northern Wilderness, he can no longer restrain himself. King Hudi is ruthless and will do anything to achieve his goals. It's easy for these two forces to collude with each other. I didn't expect the Fufeng Kingdom to get involved."
Shen Jiayan said, "The Fourth Prince of Fufeng is the legitimate son of the Empress. He is both civil and military, and is very good at arranging military formations. Unfortunately, he has never been favored by the King of Fufeng and has been ostracized by the other princes. Now that the King of Fufeng is seriously ill and bedridden, and Beihuang is willing to join forces with him, he will naturally not miss such a good opportunity."
The emperor raised his hand and pointed at a city on the map. "These days, people from Fufeng have been sneaking into Qiongzhou repeatedly. I don't know what they've been doing behind the scenes, but they have ulterior motives. If anyone is caught and immediately commits suicide, nothing can be found out."
"Testing the defenses? Poisoning people? Or preparing for the invasion of Fufeng Kingdom?" Shen Jiarui frowned and kept guessing.
"Once Qiongzhou is destroyed, the neighboring Juzhou and Feizhou will also fall. Therefore, Qiongzhou must not be lost."
The emperor looked worried.
He sighed softly and looked up at Shen Jiayan. His words were filled with a hint of guilt. "You and Qing Yuan just got married not long ago. Logically, I shouldn't break you up. But after thinking it over, I only trust you two brothers. So..."
